Roberta June Bolstridge
1937-2020
It is with sadness that we share the passing of Roberta June
Bolstridge. She was 83.
Born and raised in Woodstock, N.B., she spent her final years
in a friendly farmhouse in Lower Knoxford, surrounded by kind
neighbours.
Bobbie loved the arts and took any opportunity to enjoy live
music and community events. Wherever Bobbie was, a good time was sure
to be had. We have all been well fed and comforted over the years
through the wonderful meals she lovingly prepared for us and the
cooking skills she passed down. We learned that there’s
nothing that can’t be cured by some homemade baked beans and
brown bread.
Friends from many geographical locations and various
generations were drawn to her quick wit and dry sense of humour. She
maintained many close friendships, notably with Shirley Hawkes for
more than 80 years.
After the death of her husband, Stan, in 2010, Bobbie found
companionship with Lyle Pedersen, with whom she spent seven fun-filled
golden years.
She was predeceased by her husband of 51 years, Stan, her
daughter, Ruthie, and grandson Keith. She is lovingly remembered by
her daughter Diana (Gerard) Boyd of Johnville, N.B., daughter Katie
(Frank) Thompson of Zebulon, North Carolina, son-in-law Dana
McAllister of Lyman, ME; grandchildren Michael (Ashley) McAllister,
Nicole Jeffers, Lindsey (Mike) Bunin, Stuart Keilty, Jack Thompson,
Thomas Thompson and Sam Thompson, and great grandchildren Adrienne
McAllister, Caitlyn and Michael McAllister, Declan and Adelyn Jeffers,
and Jacob and Isaac Bunin.
In keeping with her wishes, no funeral will be held. Memorial
donations in Bobbie’s honour can be made to the
donor’s choice.
